During our planning chat, Chase’s mommy had the BEST idea for a photoshoot… hanging some of his baby clothes on an old-fashioned clothes line.

We loved the idea so much that I had my Mister help me rig up a really simple “clothes line”  right in our studio; and I am so excited to show you the cute results!

I thought it might be cute to also do one that displays a selection of the baby’s clothes from their whole first year… from  tiny onsies through to toddler togs.

Anyway, Chase was an utter delight to photograph! He’s so silly and charming, and those crisp blue eyes!

Anybody that’s ever come into the studio and flipped through our books here probably remembers Emily… the rolly-polliest, chubbiest, most cloud-soft baby we’ve ever met here.  Almost every person that sees her photo makes a comment about how adorable and huggable she was then!

Miss Emily is now a growny girl, with a little brother to boss around!

Harrison isn’t *quite* as chubby as his sister is, but he’s every bit as sweet as pudding, and he’s got charming personality just radiating from his big smile!

-(For those of you wondering, Emily is no longer a chunky baby girl.  Now, she’s a beautiful blonde little princess, and a GREAT big sister!)-

When Drew & Daniel’s mom suggested that we take the boys’ photos around their home this time, she vaguely mentioned something about the yard being a “wreck.”

So, I was pretty surprised when I pulled up to their Garden of Eden of a front lawn!

I love doing photoshoots like this… we pretty much let the boys play at their own pace, and do their own thing, on  their own turf!

-Nothing more fun in the world to Drew here than sending all his toys on a thrilling ride!-

-I love these little pools!  I think everybody born in the past 50 years or so has some memory of playing in a pool just like this one!-

Sarah Bayly is the BABY baby of the family!

She has three very sweet and amazing big siblings who all think that she hung the moon, and a wonderful Mommy & Daddy that can’t get enough of her!

Her mommy told me that they decorated her room with nests and birds. (LOVE!)

So, it worked out super well that she looks like a cuddly little bird in her “nest” here!

Oh my heavens, Lori is such a gorgeous little rolly-polly baby!

I love that her mama and grandmama made little head-dresses for her!

She loved playing dress-up!

Once upon a time, on one of the coldest days that I can remember, Phillip and I photographed the wedding of Amy & Jeremy.

If it had been anybody else, it might have been a miserable day; but Amy & Jeremy are both such warm and funny and fantastic people, that it is still one of my favorite weddings ever!

So it only stands to reason that their new son, Larkin, is already an amazing little creature!  He is really honestly one of the most even-tempered, lovely babies I’ve ever been around!

(Not to mention that he’s utterly, edibly, adorable!)

*And he’s also a rockstar. That is all.*

Usually, when we photograph newborns, they are in varying stages of sleep… but not Miss Mary Madison!  The whole time she was here, she was checking everything out with those big round eyes of hers!

Even when she got sleepy, it was pretty obvious that she just didn’t want to miss anything!

Alivia is brand new in this world, but she has one really special big sister who will be there to show her the ropes!

And I hope Alivia gets a LOT of Ava’s silly, sweet personality as she grows up!

Baby Alivia was just a DREAM to photograph!

She was sleepy and cuddly and just wanted to snuggle and be cute!

I LOVE her long dark eyelashes, and powder pink lips!

Oh Grayson, with the bluest, most limpid eyes, and those petal pink lips…

She’s going to be a knock-out for sure!

Somebody commented earlier that she doesn’t even look real, and it’s true!  She looks like a living doll!

(And acts like a doll, too… she’s precious!)

I was nothing less than gleeful at the outfits and toys that her mama brought with her for their special photoshoot!

Walker and Will are two of the cutest boys we’ve ever had in the Studio, and I can’t believe how big little Walker has gotten since the last time I saw him!
